Re-Enrollment
Coming Soon: Technology Deployment
As the school year continues to inch a step closer, Trix Academy will begin deploying technology within the next two weeks. Please expect a phone call from the school's phone number to schedule your technology pickup appointment. As an academy, we are thrilled all of our scholars will have access to technology to help extend learning both at home and in school.
Accepting New Scholar Applications
School Begins September 8, 2020
With the unexpected school building closure during the month of March, Trix Academy continued to provide various ways to keep all of our scholars engaged in learning. Since that time, we have also been working diligently to prepare as best as possible for the 2020-2021 school year. Trix Academy has created a plan that will continue to engage our scholars in learning whether they are in-person or remaining at home. It is critical for all of our families to communicate with Trix Academy regarding your decision to have your child(ren) learn in a hybrid model, which is in-person 2 days and week and online 3 days a week or virtual 5 days a week.
Since May, Parent Forums have been held to help all of our families understand and stay abreast of Trix Academy and the very important direction we are taking as a school to keep our scholars safe and educationally challenged. If you have not had a chance to take part in a parent forum, several more are planned prior to the school year beginning. If you are unable to attend a parent forum due to scheduling conflicts, please do not hesitate to call the office at (313) 426-1020 or email Ms. Coleman at d.coleman@mecc-academies.org for individual conversations.
